Please read! I understand that we live at such time when everyone is always busy, always on the run thus we need things to be done quickly. We don’t have time to sit down for breakfast or lunch, we can’t afford having a cup of coffee in a chair enjoying every sip of it.. we are USED TO having everything on the fly without thinking of consequences. Unfortunately, to every action there is a reaction somewhere in the world! Be aware of choices you make. Stop the #consumerism , be more kind to the world around. #CARE for heaven’s sake!

Dissection of the 9.5-meter sperm whale's stomach revealed almost 6 kilos of plastic, including soft plastic, hard plastic, plastic bags, plastic cups, bottled drinks, sandals and raffia. -
Our single-use lifestyle is wreaking havoc on our oceans and the amazing creatures that call it home. We must make a change NOW.

A clean coastline is what we want to see! 🌊
Most of our cleanups are along the west coast of Sweden to keep it’s ecosystems healthy. The west coast of Sweden is considered a high impact area where trash from all around the world is carried along with the Gulf Stream, meaning cleanups are crucial to protect marine life. Head over to cleansea.co to see how you can support our efforts to create a clean marine environment.

Plastic Picnic. .
.
One beach cleanup, one remote island chain - a story that is everywhere, choices that begin with each of us. What do you see? What pieces of your own consumerism are washing up on Hawaiian beaches? This is not a blame game, it’s an awareness awakening. .
Plastic water bottles, Pepsi, toothbrushes, plastic dust pans, single-use floss handles, polystyrene foam meat trays, fish traps, detergent bottles, oxybenzone sunscreen bottles.... what else do you see? For about half a century you have been sold the convenience of throw-away plastic without concern or consequence. The consequences are here. You are swallowing them, animals are dying from them, and greenhouse gases are multiplying from plastic production. Did you know that of the 29 billion plastic water bottles sold in the US each year, it took 170 million barrels of oil to make them?
.
What now? We change; plain and simple. Will you be challenged by that? Yes, I am too. But from what you see in the plastic picnic, what can you get rid of from your life, what can you find a compostable alternative to, and even better what products can you find that last a lifetime for the same purpose, rather than used once and discarded? Encourage change in the businesses that you frequent, talk to them, talk to your neighbor, support a local legislative initiative to reduce plastic in your community, think about the full scale of what each product takes to be made every time you purchase something. This is how it happens, this is how we change this ugly tide. .

With the weather dropping, I find my skin a little drier than in the summer months so I’ve whipped up my body butter. I prefer to make my own lotion because it’s cheaper, better for the environment, and better for your skin. Conventional lotions have a ton of toxic crap in them like parabens (which has estrogen-mimicking properties that are associated with increased risk of breast cancer), phthalates (a endocrine disruptors which has also been linked to increased risk of breast cancer, and ‘fragrances’ (which the FDA does not require companies to disclose what those are made of). I stay clear of skin products that I couldn’t eat because if your skin absorbs whatever you put on it, it should also be safe for internal ingestion. Plus, #DIY beauty products are fun to make and easy to cusotmize to your exact liking.
.
Ingredients:
½ cup cocoa butter
½ cup shea butter
½ coconut, avocado, or almond oil (any liquid oil will do the trick)
Optional: essential oils (I love lavender, but sweet orange is great too.
.
steps:
In a double boiler, melt the cocoa butter, shea butter, and other oils together over low heat by stirring frequently (for my double boiler, I just place a stainless steel bowl over a pot of boiling water).
Once melted, place in your fridge for an 45 minutes (or your freezer for 15 minutes). We want it to not be a liquid form but also not frozen solid.
Once cooled, take a mixer and begin to whip it up! Add in 10-15 drops of your essential oil, and keep whipping until your lotion can hold up stiff peaks.
The last time I bought these ingredients, I couldn’t find cocoa butter or shea butter without plastic packaging.
I tried to buy big bag though. And these bags have lasted me over a year, so in comparison to the plastic bottles of lotion I’d throw each month, this is a lot better. As well, I try to make sure my oils are ethically sourced too.
I am easily able to find the liquid oils in glass packaging however. I also love using avocado oil on my face as a moisturizer.
Do what you can with the resources around you. Don’t beat yourself up if plastic happens <3

🐝💛Our beeswax wraps are MADE WITH ORGANIC INGREDIENTS!
Beeswax Wrap by BeeHealthyLab is made of GOTS-certified organic cotton, sustainably sourced beeswax, jojoba oil, and tree resin. This combination of ingredients creates a malleable food wrap that can be used again and again.

Chew on this 🖌 Many marine organisms can’t distinguish common plastic items from food. Animals who eat plastic often starve because they can’t digest the plastic and it fills their stomachs, preventing them from eating real food - @earthdaynetwork

These deodorants are fab! They’re really effective and smell amazing!
New fragrance added - can you spot which one?
Using a natural deodorant like @kutis_skincare not only avoids you putting any harmful chemicals onto your skin, it doesn’t harm any animals in its production and uses not a scrap of plastic - win win win 💗

🐝✨Why Beeswax Is Amazing?
⠀
Beeswax helps to thicken homemade cosmetics and lotions because it is solid at room temperature and has a relatively high melting point of 147 degrees Fahrenheit. This is especially helpful in recipes that include high amounts of coconut oil, which has a low melting point, or other oils that are liquid at room temperature.
Beeswax also has vitamin A, which improves hydration to the skin and promotes cell regeneration.
